SUNDAY 22.-We are at the back of
Gods thought as he sits weaving, and
this is why it looks tangled and nnlovely,
fragmentary and full of failure; but byand
by when He is done His work and we see
his perfected eternal thought we will know
that all things worked together fer the full
fllment of all loneliness.
MONDAY 23.-Sow carclcssness, reap
failure. disappointment, weakness. crime,
death, hell!
TUESDAY 24.-Gct may be the goose
that matches, but save is its down whereby
it matches the golden egg. BY the hand of
save far more than get the goose that lays
gold eggs is set and when she's set she'll
multiply till her fruitful brood fills all
mans sky.
WEDNESDAY s5.-"Evil is" somehow
''the shadow of good and there is coming
a bright and shadowless day.
THURSDAY Co.
No idler is sin;
1t fights hard to win:
And who would if master
Must only fight faster.
FRIDAY 21.-Principle in custom be-
comes permanent, but there is always a
danger of it's losing its vitality and becom-
ing but a dead fossil. Better that it be
living in the ~changcful heart than in the
changeless custom.
SATURDAY 2S.-In the loom of family
prayer and a genuine christian home life,
you can weave your children into that pur-
pie holiness of God whereby He is redeem
ing the world from degrading slavehood
to ennobling kinghood. But neglect fam
lily prayer, show never the spirit OF the
gracious Lord in ways of our home life,
and you are throwing the shuttle whereby
the coarse garments of spiritual slavery is
woven, fitting the souls of your loved
ones like Nessus' shirt.

one another wherever they may exist
through the boundless empire of the
Almighty: and that peace, order and hap
piness would be the invariable and neces-
sary results wherever their influence ez-
tended. II the love of God reigned su-
preme in every heart. there would be no
superstition or idolatry in the universe,
nor any Of the crimes and denominations
with which they have been accompanied in
our world-no blasphemy or PROCLAMATION
Of the name Of Jehovah,-no perjury, by
pocrisy, arrogance, pride, ingratitrde. MOI
murmurings under the allotments Of Di-
vine Providence. And, il every moral in
telligence loved his fellow-ereatures as
himself, there would be no rivalships and
%antipathies between nations, and, conse-
quently, no wars, devastation, nor carnage
no tyranny, haughtiness, Or oppression
among the great, no envy. discomfort, or
INSTRUMENTATION among the lower classes
OF soeiety ,-no systems Of slavery, no per-
seeutions ON account of religious opinions,
no murders, thefts, robberies, or a~ssassi-
nations.-no treacherous friendships. $50
fraud and deceit in commercial transac-
tons, no implacable r%esentments among
friends and relatives, and no ingratitude
or disobedience among children or servants.
On the other hand, meekness, long suffer
ing, gentleness, humility, temperance, f.
deity, Observation-Disclosures, and sacred JOY,
would pervade every heart and transform
our world from a scene Of contention and
misery to a moral paradise. The compre-
henaive nature of these laws or principles,
and their tendency to produce universal
order and happiness among all intelli-
gences, prove that they ';are more precious
than gold, yea, than much n eYgoid, and
that in keeping Of them there is great re-
ward. 't-Impyog. Of Soct.

In ADANGEROUS BUSINESS
MIR. JOHN POLK THREArE6S
"a PARALYZE A WITNESS
In the Recent Goodwin TriaI-Mon-
key with Worse Than
u Bugz Saw.

Sunday afternoon, as Mr.. Adolph
Refs EN- rged from his house 10 at
tend church, hs was met by Mr.. John
J. Polk, who said; ~ am under the
necessity Of informing you that you
swore TO q Cd ID lie, and am
almost nttIaired to thrash YOU"
The CHI rye Of prsvsrication was pre-
1, rred on account of the testimony
given by &r, Refs In the recent trial
of Russell Goodwin. Trough the
tflorls of the late defendant, Mr. Polk
was prevailed upon to refrain from
executing The hreat, and scene was
prevented.
Mr.. Refs was seen yesterday after
noon, and his nervous condition
seemed not the leatt disturbed. He
said he anticip tied no violence, and
had asked Att Irney General Peters to
stay all proceedings that might be
contemplated in tle CRIMINAL Court.
Notwithstanding this magBanimity,
Judge DuBo:e Issued an 0 der citing
Polk to appear aud show cause why
he should not be punished for con-
tempt. He was also ARE ted by the
police aud Oh lrge OF ASSAULT and bat
Iery entered opposite his name on the
docket. A forfeit Of i25 Vas dtposIted.
Under the cirCumstah0, Mr. Folks
course Gao but be reRsrded-to put 1t
m,ldly--as very unwi,e, and he has
pla ed hiu self in position TO regret
il before the law has done with him.

to prove a very desirable man. There
are Others in the team who ouIht to
show up very well, There is no ques-
ton regarding the strergth OF the

good judges TO be very strong, both at
the bat and in the field, and although
the fall quota OF men has been signed,
Manager Powell is determined 10 rem
edy any weak points upol the frat in
Cication OF inierority.
These friendly championship bouts,
iogt ther with the exhibition games to
be played with visiting northern
teams, will serve to PIT the boys in
first class condition for the opening OF
the battle for the Southern Laagus
banner. 1t will also bring out the
weak points OF individual Numbers
and give amp'e opportunity for
strengthening. We are pretty we'll
satisfied that Nashville aud Mem
phis are about as strong as they
can be made without greatly in
creased expenditure. Both teams ere
more than able to cope with New Or
leans, Savannah and Mobile, and they
are also strong enough to draw out
good crowds. There is no valid reason
why the championship season should
not open under very susI iriju cir
cumstsnces all along the line.

spe, tat IT'S of the proceedings there was
a diversity OF opinion as to the wisdom
OF bis cour e. One of the deputy sher-
ifs sent after Pr. sident Hidden found
him on the Police Court bench, aud
summoned him therefrom. After
waiting a short time the Criminal
Court Judge sent another, who en-
countered the President on his way to
answer the first summons. The ex.
cuse given by the s. coDd officer was
that he thought possibly the first had
not resChed him.

ACTS FOR The ASSESSORS
A DIGEST OF THE CONSTITUTION
AND LAW
For the Purpose OF Bringing About
Harmony Between Collectors
and Taxpayers.

A great deal OF complaint has been
msde of late as to the methods by
which assessors perform their duties
This unsatisfactory way of doing bust
ness may be due to the fact that they
are not familiar with the constitution
and the laws enacted Hereunder reg
ulating assessments in the State. To
this end the 70 loving digest of the
con, titution and law is made:
Article IL, Section 90, OF the consti.
tuition provides that "all property
shall be assessed according to itl val
ne, that value to be- ascertsined in
such manner as the Legislature shall
direct, aud thst taxes soall be equal
and uniform throughout the State; no
one species of prep srty from which a
tax may be collected shall be taxed
higher than any other species Of
property of The same value"
The Legis ature OF Tennessee, in
COT formity with the provision of the
constitution, and TO preserve the equi-
ty and uniformity of assessments,
passed the act Of 1885, approved April
0, 1885, entitled, "Au act to provide
more Just aud equitable laws for the
assessment and collection # revenue
Tor State AM county and municipal
purposes, ard to repeal all lave now
in force whereby revenue is collected
from the assessment Of real aud psr-
sonal property, privileges and pc Is. "
The obi ct aud purpose Il this act
Is fully set firth in section 80 as a
guide to Assessors, which provides as
follows:
SIC. 80. Be Il fsrther enacted, That
each Assessor, ON being no fled of his
appointment, shall proceed 10 assess
the properly in his district or ward
liable 10 tax ton, according TO the re-
quirsments of this act, and to this on d
snail commence at some corner or out
side point of his district or ward, and
assess the property as II joins or lies
contiguous to property just rs essed
or about to bs assessed, aid shall pro-
coed in some regular manner until he
